Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Finished application properties include the following:

permanent/removable

waterproof/chemical resistant

structural rigidity

strength (tensile, compressive, shear and torsional)

aesthetic

Properties of surfaces to be joined include the following:

materials of construction

physical properties (e.g. strength and rigidity)

surface properties (e.g. surface finish and surface treatment/coatings)

size and shape

Joining system includes one (1) or more of the following:

bonding (e.g. adhesive, gluing, ethacrylates, sikaflex and epoxy)

using composite materials (e.g. Probond, Divelett, K-Lite and Eurmere)

secondary bonding – cured composite to cured composite

using mechanical fasteners (e.g. bolts and rivets)

Preparation of surfaces includes one (1) or more of the following:

solvent or other chemical cleaning

chemical etching

mechanical preparation such as blasting, buffing

surface smoothing (e.g. machining)

making of holes or other physical locking features

Most appropriate joining system includes the following:

compliance with product requirements

greatest ease of joining

best financial return

greatest sustainability contribution

Requirements of the job include one (1) or more of the following:

rigid or flexible

water, ultraviolet (UV), chemical or fire resistant

or have other properties, as well as the required strength

Areas for improvement include one (1) or more of the following:

incompatible requirements

hazardous materials/preparation methods

non-uniform join

Sustainability includes the following:

survival of the ecology/physical environment

economic viability

social sustainability

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
